This morning, I hit my first time trial oriented goal of loosing 10 pounds by March 16th. Well, actually I lost 10.2 pounds...and yes, I am counting every ounce...they all add up!
So now, I will begin to work on the second 10 pounds by May 12th.
What did I do? I cut my calories by an average of 100 per day and I kept my time trial cycling and gym program pretty much in tact. I say pretty much due to the weather. Sometimes I was indoors with Troy Jacobson doing Spinervals. 1:45 minutes is about all I could take with him and I am sure that is where the pounds came off.... as I sweated away and drip drip dripped to the music in my ears. Eating 40-40-20 protein, carb and fat and adding in 100 calories/per hour if I ride for 2 hours or more. That works for my body.
This week promises to be very nice weather and I plan on getting outdoors again on my bike.
